Handel began the composition of Tamerlano, one of the supreme masterpieces of Baroque opera seria, on 3rd July 1724. The libretto was an adaptation by Nicola Haym of Agostino Piovene's Tamerlano, Tragedia per musica, which had been set to music by Francesco Gasparini, and performed in Venice in 1711. When Handel dated the last page of the autograph on 4rd July the work appeared to be complete; but during the three months which passed before the premiere at the King's Theatre in the Haymarket on 31 October, so many alterations and revisions were made that a fresh performing-score had to be writtern very late in the proceedings, to replace an earlier one which is now 1ost.
There were twelve performances between 31 October 1724 and 8 May 1725. Handel revived the opera only once, in 1731, for three performances. For this revival he marked in the performing score a number of cuts in the recitatives, which are reproduced in the present edition; there is more recitative in Tamerlano than in any other Handel opera.

Composed by Jean-Philippe Rameau. Edited by Sylvie Bouissou. This edition: complete edition, urtext edition. Linen. Jean-Philippe Rameau. Opera Omnia (OOR) IV/2+7. Version 1736. Complete edition, Score. RCT 44. Baerenreiter Verlag #BA08860_01. Published by Baerenreiter Verlag (BA.BA08860-01). ISBN 9790006558131. 33.5 x 25.5 cm inches. Text Language: French. Preface: Sylvie Bouissou. Text: Louis Fuzelier. The main body of the new edition of Les Indes galantes, published in Opera Omnia Rameau (OOR IV.2, 7), restores the version authorised by Rameau in 1736. This basic editorial decision has made it possible to present a fully coherent and authenticated reading of the work (after the adjustments from the earliest performances). All other versions before and after 1736 are gathered together in 19 complements.
Sylvie Bouissou's new edition differs markedly from previous modern editions and all existing recordings. With its complements she does justice to the performer's need for Rameau's various revisions while finally making accessible a version actually authorised by Rameau. For the first time it is presented in its complete stylistic and dramatic context.

SATB vocal soli, SATB choir, congregation, 2 violins, viola, cello, contrabass, organ SKU: CA.5040515 Chorale cantata. Composed by Max Reger. Edited by Gunther Massenkeil. German title: O wie selig seid ihr doch. Sacred vocal music, Mourning, death. Single Part, Double Bass. Composed 1903. Op. WoO V/4 Nr. 2. 2 pages. Duration 15 minutes. Carus Verlag #CV 50.405/15. Published by Carus Verlag (CA.5040515). ISBN 9790007081751. Key: D minor. Language: German/English. The choral cantatas are Reger's most personal and most substantial contribution to one of the principal categories of Protestant church music, and they are only major works in this field by one of the foremost composers of his time. This is true despite the fact that Reger himself does not appear to have considered the cantatas to figure among his principal compositions, as he gave them no opus numbers. In contrast to the three other chorale cantatas of Reger which exist in a definitive form, there is no record of the place or date of the first performance of O wie selig, or indeed of any performance of it during the composer's lifetime.

Composed by George Frideric Handel. Edited by Kenneth Nott. This edition: complete edition, urtext edition. Linen. Halle Handel Edition (HHA) Series I, Volume 30. Complete edition, Score. HWV 70. Baerenreiter Verlag #BA04014_00. Published by Baerenreiter Verlag (BA.BA04014). ISBN 9790006442935. 33 x 26 cm inches. Text Language: English. Preface: Nott, Kenneth. Text: Thomas Morell. “Jephtha†is Handel’s last oratorio. Handel had to break off from composing several times because of his increasing blindness in 1751. The first performance at the Covent Garden Theatre in February 1752 was the last performance he conducted before he went completely blind.
In “Jephthaâ€, Handel succeeded in achieving the perfect fusion between a biblical plot and the spirit of classical tragedy. With great intensity and dramatic expression he highlighted in particular the fates of Jephtha and Iphis , thereby portraying convincing and complex characters.
The chorus “How Dark, O Lord, are Thy Decrees†at the end of part two is of crucial importance in the work and is regarded as the dramatic high point of the oratorio.
The vocal score is based on volume I/30 of the “Halle Handel Edition†(BA 4014), which contains the complete critical version of the music of the oratorio for the first time.
